Morgan Lewis Recognized in Legal 500 United States 2017 Guide

June 28, 2017

NEW YORK, June 28, 2017: Morgan Lewis received an unprecedented 10 “Top-Tier” practice recommendations, 44 additional practice rankings, and more than 200 individual lawyer recommendations in the 2017 edition of the Legal 500 United States guide.

Legal 500 rankings are based on a series of criteria judged predominantly by corporate counsel who identify select firms that offer some of the most cutting-edge and innovative counsel to clients around the world. The publisher, Legalease Ltd, issues several regional guides spanning more than 100 jurisdictions on an annual basis, many of which prominently feature Morgan Lewis and its lawyers.

In 2017, nearly 30 of the firm’s practitioners were granted “Leading Lawyer” designations, the most prestigious designation awarded by the directory to individuals it chooses to feature. Nine Morgan Lewis partners were inducted into the inaugural Legal 500 Hall of Fame, which includes only those lawyers who have been recognized by the publisher as Leading Lawyers for six consecutive years. Fewer than 500 partners across the United States made the premiere list. In addition, eight Morgan Lewis lawyers were named up-and-coming “Next Generation Lawyers” in the guide.
